Market Opportunity

Combined Brassica market exceeds $40B globally. Spicy kimchi without added gochugaru, spicy coleslaw without hot sauce, spicy cauliflower buffalo bites without the buffalo sauce. The cauliflower-as-substitute trend could gain a spicy variant.

Engineering Strategy

Glucosinolate biosynthesis competes with phenylalanine/tyrosine pools. Opportunity: glucosinolate pathway also uses BCAT — a shared enzyme that is already highly expressed, reducing gene count by one. 10-25% transformation.
